Though it may be pretty difficult to forget about the World Cup – particularly when considering just how ubiquitous the coverage of and hype surrounding it seems to be - for many football fans there is only one true league: the Barclays Premier League.Continue reading →

With all of the hype surrounding the World Cup and the beginning of the Premier League, you would think that there’s no room for any other kind of football-based entertainment for a good while, right? Well apparently there’s simply no limit to the amount of football that everyone must endure, even if it is in flash form on the internet which is why Monkey Kick Off is a game that exists to please the people of the world that feel 24 hours a day and 7 days a week simply isn’t enough hours/days in which to fit their football action.

It isn’t as if there is a shortage of football to watch or experience at pretty much any time of the year, so do we need yet more iterations of the sport encroaching on our lives? Unfortunately for football haters it’s a little too late to avoid this fate: football is everywhere. The sport is on the TV, it’s being played down the park, it’s on every games console/PC, it’s all over the internet in flash/Unity 3D form, and now it’s even spread to mobile devices.

Though the football World Cup only happens every four years, the hype surrounding the event always surpasses expectations, no matter what country happens to be hosting it. In spite of the Qatar controversy for the 2022 World Cup, people are still excited about it, as they are about the 2018 and this 2014 World Cup in Brazil. There’s always one question that would make many people millionaires if they could answer it however, and that is the question of who is going to actually win the tournament.Continue reading →

Forget real football players, since they’re generally very stupid and unnecessary: pick up ‘Slide Soccer’ where all you need are a few discs, a football pitch and your best sliding finger to score the best goal.

I’ve encountered a fair few variations on the theme of football games: some involve swiping to shoot the ball, some require a flicking motion to control the action, and some merely require the pressing of some on-screen buttons to give rise to the resulting actions in the game.

The most revolutionary change in the PES series for many years makes for some impressive visuals and an expansion of the game’s Fifa-beating potential

If you’ve decided to pitch in the Pro Evolution Soccer camp this year, you’ve got pretty good timing because there are more reasons than ever to do so. And yet people still continue to flock to Fifa like sheep running from Pro Evolution Soccer like it were some sort of ovine blasphemy whereas it is in fact the greatest and most detailed simulation of the sport to ever exist.

Heroic Sports Football is just simply great light hearted fun; you have complete ownership over your team both on and off the pitch. Whilst away from ‘the action’ you are left creating a team name, motto, badge etc. which is a pretty unique and creative touch to the game. Match day is completely the same in the sense that you are in charge of everything!

Forward Gazing

We all love moan and complain about our disappointment with the current Fifa game almost immediately after it is released, don’t we? Now, whether this is because EA are genuinely slacking each year by offering us only the most minor of changes between releases or whether this is simply a “grass is greener on the other side” thing (with the other side being next year’s title) it is unclear, but you cannot deny the desire to look forward to the next title and speculate about how EA could have done better with the time and outrageous amount of money they had over the previous year.

Choosing a football game to entertain you throughout the year is a matter of personal taste. It’s unlikely that a single review is ever going to sway your opinion towards any particular football game, particularly with such a competitive market out there offering different takes on emulating the football experience.

If you find yourself tiring of the often mundane and time-consuming task of engaging in a full-scope football game, Football Kicks could be the game to put the fun back into football. Far from a football management game or full match simulation, Football Kicks offers you the chance to experience the very best part of the sport, which as we all know is the scoring of goals.
